    I have been trying for a while to activate windows on my PC that I built. I currently am signed in with my Microsoft account to a Microsoft Surface 5 with windows 10 pro activated with a digital license linked to my account. I originally tried to activate my new PC with windows 11 home, but it wouldn't work, so I downgraded to windows 10 home, but that won't activate either. I've tried troubleshooting it, and downloading inactivated windows 10 pro, however it won't let me upgrade since I can't activate windows 10 home. What should I do?error messages:"We can't activate windows on this device b

    Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

    How long did you wait for activation?
    When I re-installed with a fresh install... it took a few hours to sync and activate.
    However, it did, finally, activate.

    This kinda sucks. However, if one is upgrading from a retail W7/8, then it should activate on different hardware, with possible phone activation required if it's been over 120 days or whatever the timeout period is now since the last activation. Remember to erase the copy on the old hardware, of course.

    Yeah they blacklisted the insider keys at RTM, so u need to activate it again. They're using KMS server activation, so there's only handful of keys.

    If you don't have any luck I can show another quicker method...lol
